Does Your 1984 Dodge Mini Ram Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1984 Dodge Mini Ram, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Mini Ram feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1984 Dodge Mini Ram in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mini Ram steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Mini Ram

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Dodge Mini Ram’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Dodge Mini Ram shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Dodge Mini Ram shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Mini Ram’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 Mini Ram Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Mini Ram's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Dodge Mini Ram get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Mini Ram power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Mini Ram is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Dodge Mini Ram bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Mini Ram goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Mini Ram to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Mini Ram combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Mini Ram need replacing? If your Mini Ram shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Mini Ram might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
